South Korea-Land of Morning Calm

Day 3-Asan Si-Korea, 29 April 2009.

In the morning, I had traditional Korean breakfast consist of pap (rice) with bulgogi, kim, kimchi, apple salad, English sausage and myulchi (anchovies) with my host family where I had scrumptious and hearty meal.

Then we visited Kook Min bank where we had our first vocational visit to learn and understood the operations of the bank - of its foreign exchange, its management of its resources and talent management.

Next, we visited Hyeongchungsa which is the home of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, a Joseon’s Admiral who devoted himself to saving the country from Japanese invasion where he used ‘Geobukseon’ to defeat 133 Japanese vessels with only 13 vessels on his own. Then we went to see Medieval show to see and experience different performance such as horse riding, sword demonstration and cultural performance like drums and musical instruments.

In the evening, we visited traditional si-jang market in Asan.
